Can I just say a big thank you to the Vincelot of Leyton Orient and the Vincelot of this forum (though I’m guessing they are one and the same) for knocking Villa out last night. What’s that, we went out too? Oh well, you can’t have it all.

It was literally a Romain Vincelot farpost header. And considering it was against Villa it probably made Roy Keane’s face go pretty mental. The forum is coming to life everyone.

Yep, you know Blues are my second team as well. Yesterday was literally perfect Richard (apart from Blues’ result and the apparent booing of Seb which is a disgrace)

We booed Seb? No way! I have a policy of not booing anyone, but can understand why some boocertain players. Seb however??

According to some of the twitters anyway. I’d literally cheer him if scored a last minute winner, I love him so much

Hibbo starting for Everton as is Brian Oviedo. Hopefully the latter can get back into form quickly as that backline needs help desperately.

Meanwhile, Jozy Altidore finally scores for Sunderland. Had he actually gotten a goal for them in anything but friendly play before this?

He won’t be playing left back ahead of Baines.

I know, but it at least gives them more options with all the extra games they’ll have this year. Maverick: you all right with the Toffees going out of this early so they can have one less set of games to worry about or would you have preferred a concerted effort? I’m curious as to why Martinez started Howard rather then get Robles minutes given that I’d assume Howard will be on his way out of the starting XI in the next 1-2 years.

The only big things I’m bothered about at the minute are Lukaku and Distin getting less minutes and Stones getting more

Wow. Great performance. Moussa Sissoko is really starting to perform again - probably means he’ll be off in January. I really can’t believe the difference in performance between the last several months and the last two matches.

We fudge through it, not because of our current form, we just always make a pigs ear out of lower league sides.

Losing to Southampton over two legs in the semis now a certainty.

Disappointed with the draw somewhat. I think there were a few clubs we could of beaten in the quarters. I think we could of got a result against Sheffield Utd, Newcastle and Derby. Although Liverpool coming to Dean Court is cool, a Semi is even cooler. Going out again, albeit graciously, to Liverpool is a bit meh.

Sammy Ameobi impressed me at times last night. Seems to have a decent work rate and has a rapid burst of pace. He still seems a bit raw but I like the look of him. Hadn’t much of a chance to see him play before last night.

Thoroughly disappointing, but by no means surprising - the Newcastle United story. Pardew is shit. His coaching team is crap. Mike Ashley can fuck off to Glasgow. Alnwick is the worst goalkeeper I’ve ever seen play for Newcastle, Coloccini is over the hill and Mike Williamson was never really good enough (despite a few good performances), Colback never plays a forward pass, Gouffran is worse than useless, Cabella and Riviere couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn (although to be fair their confidence has been destroyed by Pardew) and Dummett should never EVER be played at right-back when he seemingly has no right foot. Perez and Sissoko are alright though, and Haidara I suppose. Just to reiterate though, Pardew is shit, as is a good portion of our team, coaching staff, and of course our zero hours contract loving owner.
